Our Story

So as the About Us page states Theatre Ink formed in January 2008 and what an amazing journey it has been so far.

From a starting rehearsal of just 10 members and a mild panic thinking have we overreached and underestimated the desire in Swindon to perform new and exciting productions? To a final production of 24 in JEKYLL AND HYDE who had put their faith in an individual that most did not know prior to this and to for him know what he wanted and how to get it. At the same time starting a new theatre company from scratch and but with the critical acclaim this brought it was all worth every moment and well and truly set us up for the future.

To the sell-out success of THE FULL MONTY and yes they went all the way.

To a 3 night sell out of BAD GIRLS with a fantastic cast of women some of which had never performed before and had never worked with Theatre ink before.

Whilst at the same time raising much needed funds for Breast Cancer Research, Help for Heroes and this year Prospect Hospice and performing on stage with SWINDON BIG BAND in a SWING AND JAZZ evening.

Members now perform with the successful Nathan Jones All Stars Jazz Band and most of the members have also recently been seen on television and some are now working with others to write our own productions in the future.

So what next?

To the Tim Rice, Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus formally of ABBA written show CHESS a challenge often skipped by others.

Our first stage play the phenomenal show CALENDAR GIRLS by Tim Firth in 2013 it’s now time for the ladies to reveal all and in the background conversations with authors both nationally and internationally on performing new plays and musicals in the future.
